SHREVEPORT [AP] — Shreveport City Council members have postponed until October a vote on proposals to regulate oil and natural gas drilling.
The decision to wait was made Tuesday night. Councilman Michael Long, who works in the industry, will talk with the Louisiana Oil and Gas Association about possibly including the city’s ideas in well contracts as opposed to broad-based laws.
Shreveport’s council is one of several northwest Louisiana governments developing laws and policies to deal with production in the Haynesville Shale natural gas formation.
